My friends and I stayed at Hotel St. Denis in March 2006, and I'm just getting around to writing a review now. It is very good value for money. I think we paid about $75.00/room per night. The rooms were clean, well maintained and elegant. The location is in the heart of downtown Montreal. There is a lovely restaurant next door that serves a great breakfast. I would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel St. Denis. The location in the latin Quarter is unbeatable, a close walk to all sorts of great restaurants, museums and concert venues. And a hop, skip and jump to the metro!

The neighborhood is pretty nice and seemed relatively safe. Since it IS a city, you might hear a lot of noise in the alleyways at night, but overall nothing too terrible.

Parking for the hotel is around the corner, and when we stayed the rate as 12 dollars a day at the garage, not bad for the city.

Our room was clean and roomy and the front desk staff was very nice.

The hotel is right next to a cute little bar/eatery called Kilo, which seems to have a young, hip vibe and makes some great sandwiches (I recommend the mango and chevre panini!).

Also included in your Hotel stay are vouchers for breakfast at the neighboring eatery, Pacini. Certainly beats your usual continental breakfast of stale bagels with your usual hotel stay!

Overall, we would definitely stay here again, the location and price and quality for your dollar are unbeatable.

We stayed here March 14th and 15th for a weekend getaway. We booked 2 large rooms to accomodate our 6 person party. Each room had 2 queen beds and a sofa with a pull out bed. Because of a cancellation we didn't need to use the pull out bed but it seemed like it would be about the size of a double bed. The rooms were basic and very large. We were impressed with how much room there was with plenty of closet space for 3 people. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and quite acceptable.

Our experiences with the front desk staff were very good. They were extremely helpful and willing to answer any and all questions we had.

The cleaning staff seemed thorough, though we didn't use them in the room I stayed in because a member of our party was ill for most of the second day.

A particular bright sport for us was cafe/bar attached to the hotel, Kilo. They had delicious sandwiches and desserts and excellent drink specials from 4-9 (2 for 1 beers for as little as $3.50, amazing deal compared to prices in normal bars in Montreal). The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and gave us good recommendations on where to go for a night out. We spent both early evenings here taking advantage of the nice atmosphere and prices.

Probably the best thing about the hotel is the location. You're a couple minute walk from bars and restaurants, about a 10 minute walk from Chinatown and about 15-20 to the heart of Old Montreal.

Overall, I was very pleased with our experience with Hotel St Denis. The hotel isn't a destination in itself but it is definitely an exceptional base to explore Montreal at a reasonable price without sacrificing service.

We loved the location of this hotel. We were intown for a festival, and were able to walk back and forth with ease. Along the walking route from the hotel, mainly on the Rue St. Laurence, was everything else we could need, from great Indian food to good cheap pizza, to shopping venues, to fun local bars.

Our room was clean and the housekeeping staff was thorough. Yes, the hotel is old and things are worn, and the budget rom is about the size of a walk in closet, but if you aren't going to be in your room much and don't need in room ammenities then the price is right.

The hotel is in a colorful neighborhhod, across the street from the University, so it is likely you will run into local characters, which could include prostitutes and homeless persons, but for us, the local flavor and atmosphere only enhanced the experience.

Great for folks like us on a tight budget; great location; friendly folks; and very secure inside.
